UNICEF has declared Gaza to be the “world’s most dangerous place to be a child.”

United States diplomats once again held up a vote on a watered-down United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday aimed at bringing more aid and relief to civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip as reports of starvation, mass killings, and other war crimes allegedly committed by the Israeli military continue to pile up.

    “This genocide is similar to other atrocities, whats the issue?”

    You’re either an idiot, brainwashed, or wildly self centered. Regardless, you’re promoting death of innocent humans. Shut up or wake up, thats the best decision you could make in life right now if this is seriously your take.

        Recognize that the Palestinians are people with legitimate grievances and enter into peace dialogues with that at the front of your mind and the recognition that you will have to give an equal amount for what you ate asking them to give up.

        Negotiate in good faith. It honestly isn’t a hard or complicated thought.

        It only is complicated of you honestly believe Palestinians are less than you as a people.

          This isn’t about Palestinians. This is about Iran funding Hamas to attack Israel.

          Yes the Palestinians have legitimate grievances. They also have a government (Hamas) that has no interest in peace.

          Do you honestly think that if Israel just stopped, opened up all the borders and let the Gaza strip do whatever it wanted, that the attacks would stop?

          Are you really that naive?

        ’d love to hear your idea for a peace deal that Hamas would actually accept and 100% stop their attacks on Israeli Civilians for.

        Remember the ceasefire deal of 2008 and 2012? Those.

            I usually don’t like insulting people, but just how stupid do you have to be to say things like this you absolute fucking moron? Hamas completely stopped all rocket attacks, and policed other groups in Gaza to make them do the same, for the ceasefire duration. And the IDF response?

            In August 2008, it was reported that Israel despite the ceasefire was still allowing in very few goods.[85] A WikiLeaks cable from the US embassy in Tel Aviv dated 3 November 2008 revealed that Israel still maintained the economy of the Gaza strip “on the brink of collapse” without “pushing it over the edge,”. The cable said that “Israeli officials have confirmed to Embassy officials on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the Gazan economy functioning at the lowest level possible consistent with avoiding a humanitarian crisis.”

              What’s the problem with that? Even Egypt enforced that particular blockade.

              Hamas was the one to break the ceasefire by continuing to smuggle in rockets and firing them at Israel.

              First you’re mad that Israel is genociding Palestinians, and now you’re mad that they were blockading them after a violent internal takeover while allowing enough goods in to avoid a humanitarian crisis.

              You realize that Gaza doesn’t produce rockets right? All of them(or the supplies) are being smuggled in with funding from outside sources (Primarily Iran) If Hamas wanted more economic growth and improved imports, do you really think that firing rockets at Israel was the correct political move?

              Or maybe, just maybe, you’re being naive and not realizing that this is a war not between Israel vs Gaza, but a war of Israel vs Iran (who is using Gaza as a pawn). Israel is also being attacked from Lebanon by Hezbollah (also funded by Iran)

              All of this would stop very quickly if Gaza wasn’t getting resupplied with weapons paid for by foreign powers.
